When I learned to drive, my stepfather taught me to always have a plan. Scan the road, think of what you would do if the worst were to happen. Now I’m sort of neurotic about it, playing out scenarios and making a plan for how, should I fall off a bridge into the ocean, for instance, I would unbuckle myself and the kids, break the window and swim to safety.
It’s sort of a morbid habit, but this video featured on Gizmodo today shows why it’s good to have a plan.
Watch how the driver of the tow truck leaps out at the last second, just before it plummets down into the icy ravine! You know that man had a plan!
Everyone in this video survived, even the guy whose truck first fell… Miraculously, he walked away with just a few broken bones.
How about you? Do you plan for the worst?
Must say, my husband (who produces television commercials) thinks this is faked… He thinks the movement of the camera is too convenient…
I don’t know… I think Gizmodo would’ve researched it really well before putting it up.
What do you think?
Honestly? The camera does get a bit close to the edge, but if its a fake its an incredibly good one. Look at the physics on the metal barrier, that’d be hard to simulate.
No such thing as “sort of neurotic.”
